Haha, pretty much where I'm at. If the last year is a team option it's not the worst thing in the world but this is the kind of move the upsets me(unlike trading Nash to the Lakers).

How does this help again?

Well, the one thing Beasley is supposedly good at he is not actually good at so it could be a subtle next level type tank job by the Suns the next couple years.

I like it. The Suns are going into a different direction. You don't rebuild with old vets. You throw the dice and take a chance on youth. Patience is required as it may take 2 to 3 years to become a playoff team.

Or he can get arrested and destroy team chemistry and make the Suns an even more painful team to watch.

I guess the Suns can always amnesty Beasley and keep Childress if this happens. :bang:

I've got my eye on James McAdoo,but they'll be plenty of time to talk about all that.

They'll be in different draft classes most likely(McAdoo '13 and Parker '14), I think Parker and Wiggins are going to be head and shoulders above all the '13 prospects.

90% of you guys are annoyingly negative. The ceiling for this signing is very VERY high, and the floor is low risk. Beasley will average 20ppg next year no problem. He MIGHT be a lottle immature and a weak defender but hes 23 yrs old!

If you were the GM what would you do? Hmm? No player that hits the FA market is perfect, and if they are, you have to blow the entire cap on them.

Better to be annoyingly negative than be annoyingly positive. July 4th drinking party?

$6m per year for a 23 year old kid with oodles of talent (yet unrealized mostly)? Great deal!

We basically traded Nash/Hill for Gordon/Beasley. Granted, I hope NO matches and keeps Gordon, but assuming everything goes down as intended, we got younger while maintaining talent....

Marshall-Gordon-Beasley-Frye-Gortat

Dudley-Morris-Brown-Telfair-Warrick-Childress

I'd leave it alone right there. Let's win our 30-35 games and build next offseason.

We lose one of the classier players in league and pick up this clown. Trying to control my excitement.
